Recruitment: Checkmate (Take 2), A Different Approach Options

[Digital Heroin]

Disclaimer: This is a tentative recruitment; my work schedule will soon be changing, so it may sap some of my time, as well, if there isn't enough interest I won't embark on the game.

Here's the deal. Some of you may remember early this year I tried my hand at my second forum based game, and due to my hamartia, it went by the wayside. This recruitment/co-ordination thread -is not- for a forum based game. The game will take place in an HTML chatroom which will be disclosed once the game is made official. The room is free for use, requiring only a small registration process (performed instantly), and the chat server for the room has the capability for players to create and save an image of their runner, as well as a basic character profile. As well, the room has private chat messaging and dice rolling integrated into it. This game would be run on a weekly basis (pending player/my avaliability), rather like a real-world session. Times, dates and such are to be aranged to suit all prospective players.

The run will be the one which I tried to undergo earlier, which fell by the wayside.

Extractions are always fun when the target is willing.

Char Gen Rules:

• Priority or Build Point (130) system only.
• Shapeshifters or ghouls must be approved by me.
• No Otaku.
• Variant Metahumans are allowed, though are subject for approval.
• SURGE is allowed, with either a roll (include results with character) or buy E/F style points balance
• Maximum rating 6.
• Maximum availability 8.
• +/-10 Points for Edges/Flaws Max.
- There can be no more than a 3 point gap between end Edge/Flaw point value.
- Matrix Addiction Flaw cannot be purchased at the -6 value.
- Aptitude will be allowed for combat applications, for special cases (ex. Character has no cyber/magic).
- Hunted, Extra Enemy, and similar flaws are to include a name of the person (or organization) who is hunting/hating the character, and a reason behind this.

I would like characters to know eachother, and have worked together in the past. This does not mean that they have all worked as a group, but they're all tied to eachother through past work.

Example: Runner A and B are a team, as are Runners C and D, E works alone. At some point, Runner E is hired to do a run alongside Runners A and B. At a later point in time Runner D is hospitalized, so Runners C and E team up for a short time.

The links can be simple, they can be complex. I encourage prospective players to work these ties out amongst themselves.

History is key. I don't expect a tome on your character, but a half page to a page may just earn you some consideration for that special something you'd like to have, but aren't sure I'll allow.

Those who were on the original team, and are still interested, drop me a PM, and you'll receive priority.
